  • NFC provides the possibility of using a "passive" tag that has no internal power supply of its own, instead harnessing all of the power it requires by converting some of the energy obtained from the electromagnetic field used for NFC communication that is produced by the NFC reader into a current that can then be used to power the tag itself.
  • both devices may be powered (e.g. by an internal battery) electronic devices, with one of the devices acting as the tag, while the other acts as an NFC reader.
  • the NFC communication may be bidirectional, e.g. using half-duplex or full-duplex communication methods.
  • a powered NFC device typically has two modes of operation: a sensing mode and an active mode.
  • a sensing mode When there is no electromagnetic NFC field present, the device is in sensing mode and a field detection circuit is powered up. Once an NFC field is detected, the field detection circuit generates a wake up signal and turns on the rest of the NFC device, and then the device enters the active mode in which NFC communications are carried out. Relatively speaking, the sensing mode requires little power, while the active mode has larger power consumption requirements.
  • a simple field detection method might use an envelope detector or peak amplitude detector to try and determine the presence of an NFC field.
  • the device antenna and an associated tuning capacitor act as a crude band pass filter with notional centre frequency of 13.56 MHz, which might allow signals with frequencies of approximately 1 MHz to 100MHz to pass - though it will of course be appreciated that this will depend on the field strength and the quality factor (or "Q factor") of the antenna circuitry. This unfortunately leads the field detector to generate false wake up signals, causing the active mode circuits to be enabled in response to non-NFC fields, causing an unnecessary increase in power consumption.

  • the present invention provides an electronic device and a method of operating the same that may provide a reduction in power consumption compared to conventional approaches by only operating the frequency detector if it is determined that a sufficiently strong field is indeed present.
  • further power savings are achieved by entering the active mode of the near-field communication module only if the magnetic field is varying with the appropriate frequency.
  • the device may be in the more passive sensing mode for relatively long periods of time, e.g. days or weeks. By only waking up the more power-intensive circuits when necessary, a significant reduction in power consumption can be achieved.

  • the Applicant has appreciated that there are a number of different frequency detection circuits that could readily be implemented in accordance with the invention described herein.
  • the Applicant has devised a particularly advantageous frequency detector arrangement, and in a set of embodiments the field frequency detector comprises: a ramp generator; a voltage comparator; and a counter clocked by a signal derived from the magnetic field induced in the antenna, the field frequency detector being arranged such that: upon receiving the first wake up signal, the ramp generator begins generating a voltage ramp and the counter begins a count;

  • the predetermined frequency range may correspond to a lower count threshold and an upper count threshold.
  • the second wake up signal may thus be generated if the count is between said lower and upper count thresholds. If the time it takes the ramp generator to reach the threshold voltage is known, the number which the count reaches in that known period of time is indicative of the frequency of the field.

  • the ramp generator comprises a capacitor and a current source.
  • the values of capacitance and, where appropriate, resistance are chosen to set the time taken to reach the threshold voltage - which is inversely proportional to the product of the resistance and capacitance values - to a particular value.

  • the output of the first AND gate 20 goes high each time the voltage induced in the antenna 8 (i.e. the voltage at the first NFC input pin 12a) goes high, producing a 'clock' signal 38 that follows the time-varying voltage induced in the antenna 8.
  • the output of the voltage comparator 18 - i.e. stop signal 36 - is low.
  • the negated output is therefore high, meaning that both inputs to the second AND gate 22 are high every time the 'clock' signal 38 goes high, leading to a gated clock signal 40 - illustrated as a series of pulses 52 - which drives the counter 24.

  • the ramp voltage 32 After a period of time T, the ramp voltage 32 reaches the threshold voltage 34. This causes the stop signal 36 to go high, which sets the output of the second AND gate 22 to logic low regardless of the value of the clock signal 38 coming from the first AND gate 20, thus preventing any further counting by the counter 24.
  • the count comparator 26 then compares the count value from the counter output 42 to the lower and upper thresholds 44, 46. If the count value 42 is between the thresholds 44, 46, the output 48 of the count comparator 26 is set to logic high. This indicates that the count value reached corresponds to the frequency of the induced voltage in the antenna 8 an NFC frequency. Providing the stop signal 36 and the count comparator output 48 are both high, the third AND gate 28 produces a logic high on its output 50, indicating that an NFC field of the proper strength and frequency has been picked up by the antenna 8 and that NFC communications may now be carried out.

This calibration may be carried out either during the production of the frequency detector, in use (e.g. periodically), or both. It should be understood however, that T need not be exactly equal to ⁇ as the ramp voltage 32 is relatively linear up to and around that point - i.e. the threshold voltage 34 need not be exactly the voltage the ramp voltage 32 reaches after a single time constant ⁇ has elapsed.
